Spiral Galaxies with [ITAL]HST[/ITAL]/NICMOS. I. Nuclear Morphologies, Color Maps, and Distinct Nuclei (original) (raw)

Abstract

This is the first of two papers where we present the analysis of an HST NICMOS-Cam2 near-infared (NIR) snapshot survey in the F160W (H) filter for a sample of 78 spiral galaxies selected from the UGC and ESOLV catalogs. For 69 of these objects we provide nuclear color information derived by combining the H data either with additional NICMOS F110W (J) images or with V WFPC2/HST data.
